changed my mind, it would be perfectly enough to change the player's mouseover hint to "You (36/37)" in order to communicate health.

note: changing weather at night changes the visibility radius to what the weather would have during the day .. letting you see farther in a bad weather night than in a good weather night.

went SE from the ft, through the mountains to the L2 town. bot 80 slots, kept moving S, then W to the next town.  arrived with ~40 items in my pack. trying to survey them I wound up with 3 slots locked by cursed items.

looked at the manual, searched for curse, found only a reference to '8 sanctuaries'. had no cheese to uncurse. damn. wound up crafting my first cheese from a venom-sack after almost rage-quitting. spent over an hour looking for and hunting spiders.  did 2 dungeons. 1 uncurse-cheese dropped while fighting during an eclipse.

love. it. have some spare venom sacks now -- hopefully enough to handle cursed newly picked up items.  took over a building in my final t2 town, built chests, sorted my loot. so i now have ~40 new pieces .. and maybe 3 of those will also be cursed. 

fun was had discovering the (very well done) fauna and flora in the new-to-me biomes. great level of detail.

also got a submerged dungeon which was also the first example of the game using another algo to partition the space.

what was learned?  


not only are nights spent with a home-campfire and a few active defense insanely profitable, having 5 lifesteal and 3 thorns is quite enough to feel perfectly safe at night (again.)  this is with 2 cursed items still.

have yet to camp the vendor again to buy more identify cheese. he restocks a tad to often, doesnt he?

oh .. and forests regrown in their entirety over night. that was a surprise. perhaps that should take mucho more time?

all is well. ty again!

This is incredible - truly remarkable - feedback. Rest assured each and every one of these is being looked at as we speak and I'll report all the fixes in the devnotes for 0.3.10. 

And thanks for the lovely encouragement - the game is a long way from 1.0 though! By the time it gets to 1.0, it will hopefully have 500x the content and depth it has now. It will be unlike anything else.
